Antlers RestaurantGrahame Petit, one of the owners of the Small Isles Catering Van together with Steve Prust, sent me an email a while back with some great news for Jura. If all goes as planned a new restaurant will open on Jura in May 2009. Grahame said: “Steve Prust and I are opening with the help of the “Jura development Trust” The Antlers Bistro – Restaurant In Craighouse Jura and our hope is that it will be ready and open next April”. The name for the new restaurant is well chosen and matches the image people have of Jura. The owners have started a website as well which can be found at www.theantlers.co.uk. The restaurant will be opened all year round and is a welcome addition for locals and visitors alike. To give you an idea what they offer, you can find an overview below:

  • Bistro open daily from 8am until 5pm (All day breakfasts, home baking, and a menu with a difference)
  • Restaurant open evenings 6.30 – Late (bookings only) (a Two and three course high quality menu using local produce will be available)
  • Full take away service, and packed lunches
  • Party nights (book us for birthdays & anniversaries etc)
  • Theme nights (Indian, Chinese, Mexican etc)
  • Traditional Sunday lunches (bookings only)
  • Music nights (with local musicians)
  • Children’s birthday parties (we may live to regret this one)
  • Tea, cake and coffee mornings
  • Local Arts and crafts sold on premises
  • Local jura interpretation centreFor reservations call 01496 820 142 or send an email to reservations@theantlers.co.uk

    I think this looks very impressive already and I can recommend a visit as soon as they are opened. Congratulations Steve and Grahame and lots of success with your new venture!
